Al Nafoorah would not be winning out of turn and only went down by a neck on her latest start at Brighton. But CHEERFILLY also went close over 7f at Musselburgh last time and Tom Dascombe’s filly may just have the greater scope. Lozah has bits of form that entitle her to respect, as does Dark Intention. Totally Magic won twice over this trip at Newcastle last year and appeared to be coming to hand again at Catterick recently so is preferred to Beatbybeatbybeat of the others.
